I am just being cute, and it isn't working. I am only talking the end of the film, the part I actually watched. TopBilled, I never said, the movie didn't work for me. I never said "work," did I? Turner Classic Movies was on the tube, while I was running jaws, the vacuum cleaner. I came up for air just in time to see the end of the movie. Maybe it was a good movie, I don't know. See how easy words can go wrong? From start to finish, it might be a good movie. I don't know. Reminded me of A Star Is Born with Kris Kristofferson.

Oh I see. To be honest, I didn't really care for BUTTERFIELD 8 when I watched it. But I also realized that while it may not have been for me, it might have been enjoyable to others. If we're talking Oscar, I think Liz's second Oscar is much more deserved.

I just looked BUTTERFIELD 8 up and watched the trailer. Looks like a pretty powerful drama. While I didn't experience it myself, I am aware of BU8 being a telephone prefix. By the time I knew what a telephone was, those days were over, but I was on a party line telephone, like Doris Day and Rock Hudson. (Pillow Talk)

I'm really looking forward to seeing TONIGHT AND EVERY NIGHT again. I haven't seen it in at least 10 years.

For a musical, it tends to be a bit somber (with London during WWII within it's plot.) Beautiful technicolor, though, and some rarely shown song and dance numbers. Dancer Marc Platt and dancer/choreographer Jack Cole are in it, too, whom I love.

*Look for the scene on the rehearsal stage with Rita and company and see if you can spot the uncredited Shelley Winters.

It's a good example of Lee Bowman getting a lead part in a prestige picture. Typically he played secondary roles.
